STARKE, Fla. (AP) - A man convicted of murdering a topless bar manager 27 years ago was executed Wednesday evening.

Angel Nieves Diaz grimaced in pain before dying 34 minutes after receiving the first dose of lethal chemicals.

A Department of Corrections spokeswoman said Diaz had a liver disease, which required executioners to give him a second dose of lethal chemicals. She said she didn't think Diaz felt any pain.

The manner of his death will likely rekindle the argument that Florida's method of execution constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

The 55-year-old was pronounced dead at 6:36 p.m.

Diaz said from his gurney, "The state of Florida is killing an innocent person."

He also said, "The state of Florida is committing a crime, because I am innocent. The death penalty is not only a form of vengeance, but also a cowardly act by humans. I'm sorry for what is happening to me and my family who have been put through this."

Sucks to be him.

see, that's where I think the liberals have it wrong. A painful death for a masocistic murderer isn't cruel or unusual.

That is the best news I have heard all day a filthy murderer suffered while he was executed, RIGHT ON! That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. If they don't want lethel injectiont then I think we should bring back the guillotine. That was a piece of execution beauty! No pain with this that. You would think all those liberals would agree with me on that. A quick chop and it's done. make it a pay per view event and the proceeds go to the victims family.

I like the idea of killing the guys the same way they did their victims. Alternately the Electric Bleachers is something I've advocated for years. (Great illustration, Pedro!!)

I'm sure his "suffering" was nothing compared to that of his victim's family. Burn in hell, asshole.

EDIT: It just now occured to me that the story did not make even a hint of a mention of what crime this douche committed. Obviously it was murder, but who? Under what circumstances? I guess to acknowledge that this guy took an innocent person's life might take the focus off of this guys' 34 minutes of minor discomfort. Great job, AP.

I googled him. He and a partner robbed a strip club. He got convicted of shooting the manager dead in the process. I should move to Florida or Texas. In my state, we'd be keeping that guy on Death Row for his whole life. We'd NEVER get around to executing him.
